Hi, If you are using sparse files on any file system, there isn't an easy way of expanding the size of these files. You would instead create another sparse file, add it to the VDS service, and added as a VDISK to the guest. From within the guest, the new VDISK can be formatted and attached to your ZFS or SDS volumes.
While sparse files are easy to move around and copy, you could also use ZFS volumes which do perform better. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Octave J.

They are currently files created on a ZFS file system. For example, I have created 60G boot disks for 2 guest domains on ZFS and I now want to increase the size of these disks?
